If we're doing longer things, like albums and such, here's my updated list.
One or two things got changed out because I felt they were better appreciated in their entirety than the others might have been standalone.
Had a lot of trouble pinning down just five, and still not satisfied with either five to be honest.
Can merge the posts or delete one depending on what I hear back.

Chrome I appreciate your zeal, but only choose 1 link for each of your entries so as to not be confusing for everyone.

Index, I have to admit that I don't know alot of short films so I'll probably leave the next few categories (not the immediate next one) up to vote based on interest. I'm still thinking of how to do it, but basically later on anyone can nominate a new topic but it has to be nominated a few times to get a significant change.

No, I quoted you because if you're linking to five movies, which are just as long as, if not longer than some albums / EPs - then it should follow that albums / EPs and such shouldn't be disqualified on the basis of length if movies containing music soundtracks and varying interludes of varying such are also not disqualified on the basis of length. Then still, if the fact that your movies are in fact not songs, but movies does not disqualify you on any level- then it should follow that albums would not be disqualified from the count here on the basis that they are technically not in fact songs, but albums. I would even continue on to say that many of the "albums" I wound up linking were closer to the conventional definition of a song than your "movies" were. The Afterglow and Cataclasm, for example- were purposefully blended together in such a way that encourages the listening of the entire album in sequential order, as if the album itself were simply one long song.

Honestly, Index- if you want to link somewhere in the neighborhood of one and a half to two hours worth of 'songs' and a questionable SWF, surely you can forgive me for disinterestedly following your lead in a way less financially taxing, disrespectful, and potentially illegal than sending you all CD-ROMS of audio commentary from Jumanji, Zathura, and Doctor Doolittle and labeling them as "my top 3 favorite songs i think yuo all will enjoy" as I attempt to narrow down and consolidate my current list of of favorites into five that you all wouldn't mind sitting through. I just figure if you're down with linking short films and Hewitt's not really saying shit to you about it- should follow that you and maybe some of the other guys wouldn't mind listening to an album or two- and if I'm wrong on all of that, well then I've still got the five average length songs to go on. Just covering all my bases- then if people complain, or get all confused and can't follow the discussion like Hewitt's scared people will, then we can narrow it back down to five less-than-10-minute studio audio clips out of each of us.

Not really sure how all of this is supposed to work, to be honest. I just wanna share links and listen to shit.

not sure why my innocuous comment sent chromium7 into some sort of defensive diatribe. is he usually like this?

i could explain why the things we posted aren't equivalent, but i'm not sure going down that road with you would be a good use of my time. you clearly want to escalate over nothing and i'm not going to indulge you
